Michael White is a fourth-generation farmer and seed cleaner in North Dakota who makes his living helping neighbors clean and reuse their own harvested seed, a practice generations old. When Monsanto's patented Roundup Ready soybeans spread through the region, the company's investigators accuse White of helping farmers illegally save patented seed, and he finds himself the target of a legal fight against a corporation with far more resources than his small operation. The film follows White and his family through depositions, courtroom maneuvering, and the financial strain of fighting a multinational seed company, while interviews with farmers, lawyers, and agricultural experts lay out how patent law reshaped what it means to plant a crop. Archival footage and rural landscapes ground the story in the everyday work of farming rather than abstract policy debate. The case becomes a stand-in for a larger argument over who controls seed, tracing how a practice as old as agriculture itself collided with corporate patent enforcement in modern American farm country.
